ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS

This study looked at whether breathing a mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide (sometimes called laughing gas) during physical therapy helps people with frozen shoulder. 75 adults with frozen shoulder took part. The goal was to see if the gas reduces pain and improves shoulder movement…

This study tested a treatment called Perineural Injection Treatment (PIT) against TENS (a common electrical stimulation therapy) for people with shoulder pain. 32 adults with shoulder pain from conditions like rotator cuff issues or frozen shoulder received two sessions of either…

This study compared digital physical therapy (using an app or online guidance) with standard in-person therapy for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Forty adults aged 35-55 took part. The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain, improves movement, and …

This study looked at 55 adults with severe frozen shoulder (pain and stiffness for at least 3 months) to find out which factors predict a good response to a treatment called arthrographic distension (a fluid injection into the shoulder joint) followed by intensive physical therap…

This study tested if injecting hyaluronic acid into the shoulder joint can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). 46 adults in the frozen phase received three weekly shots. Researchers measured shoulder movement and pain/disability using a questionnaire over 26 w…

This study tested whether a special tissue graft (ActiveMatrix) works better than the usual steroid injection for frozen shoulder. About 56 adults with shoulder stiffness and pain took part. Researchers measured changes in pain and daily function over 6 months to see which treatm…

This study looked at whether adding ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injections to a standard rehabilitation program helps people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Sixty adults were split into two groups: one got three weekly injections plus six weeks of rehab, the oth…

This study tested whether virtual reality (VR) exercises could help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) as well as or better than standard physical therapy. 90 adults aged 18-65 with frozen shoulder took part. Researchers measured pain, shoulder movement, and daily …

This study looked at whether a specific type of gentle shoulder movement, called gong mobilization, with or without a back adjustment, can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). 36 adults aged 40-60 with stage 2 frozen shoulder took part. The goal was to see if t…

This study compared shoulder muscle strength and endurance between 60 people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) in the recovery phase and healthy individuals. Researchers used a special machine to measure peak torque and fatigue index of shoulder muscles. The goal was to …
